Milieu idea

[kafka47]

Why not set the T5 milieu in the distant past instead. I was thinking of the rise of the Vilani imperium?

With the premiering of "Enterprise" I, and my players, have gotten interested in a early days of exploration campaign. Say, The 1st interstellar war period, or perhaps the Swordworlders and/or Darriens in the SM.

If you want to do the Interstellar Wars, the best time might be the Empty Peace period between the Third and Fourth Wars. A nice long cold war, a competant ruthless Vilani governor, the Terrans diverting huge resources from the military to the rimward expanision. All good fun.

I've always thought that a good setting for a Traveller mileu, for those who want a relatively wide-open game that allows for exploration, conflict, intrigue, etc, would be a game set between the fall of the Rule of Man and the rise of the Third Imperium. Lots of little states forming and expanding, no telling just what is out beyond the borders (there might be old 1st/2nd Imperium records of what USED to be out there, but that was a long time ago, and there were very definitely unexplored areas in those days). Pure exploration, trade pioneering, diplomacy, recon and conquest, all are possible. In one possible future, Sylea expands and becomes the center of the Third Imperium, but it doesn't have to be the center. Some other state could have done the same thing.
